Such failure would be my fault, as I wrote most of the migration code form DarwinPorts to MacPorts. Can you please provide me with more information? I'd need to know for certain what pkg installer you are using and your host platform (OS X version). A view of the /opt/local/var/db/dports and /opt/local/var/macports directories would also be very helpful, plus a manual run of the preflight script (after providing me with the view of those directories). To perform the latter please execute the following in a shell:
curl -O http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/branches/release_1_6/base/portmgr/dmg/preflight && chmod +x preflight
set -x && sudo ./preflight 2>&1 | tee preflight.log
That'll create a preflight.log file where a debug run of the script will be recorded. It'd be great if you could attach that to this ticket.
And as for the other information I request, comments in this ticket would suffice. But please read WikiFormatting and our ticketing guidelines to learn how to properly paste console output (I'm particularly interested in that you use the {{{ }}} wrappers for proper Trac formatting).
Thanks!
